But then one day it changed
We had something in common
Whether he believed it or not

It was different this time
It was natural,
Just saying hi
The friend way

We aren’t friends
But now I think he understands,
That the reason I put up with it is clear.

It was different that time
It was almost like respect

And I pray that we might
Keep that something in common

So that maybe one day
He will be led in the right direction
By me or someone else
